On 26 March 2018 Julian Assange tweeted out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London the following correct comparison: "In 1940 the elected president of Catalonia, Lluís Companys, was captured by the Gestapo, at the request of Spain, delivered to them and executed. Today, German police have arrested the elected president of Catalonia, Carles Puigdemont, at the request of Spain, to be extradited."

This tweet caused anger not only in Spain but also in Ecuador. The foreign ministry demanded that Assange deletes the tweet, which he refused. Shortly after, the Ecuadorian diplomatic mission cut Assange's communication with the outside world and prohibited visitors from seeing him.

Since 2012, Assange sought refuge in the embassy, escaping extradition to the US where he expected charges of espionage because of having released so-called secret documents about the crimes committed by the US occupation forces in Iraq and of releasing tons of emails showing how criminal the US government behaves.

Initially, the whole 'Assange affair' started with sexual allegations against him, which he apparently committed in Sweden. These trump-up charges were brought up by a Swedish prosecutor month after pressure from the Obama administration, which sought revenge because of WikiLeaks releasing unclassified US material about its wrongdoing. Years later, the Swedish prosecutor dropped the charges.

Germany should not extradite Puigdemont to Spain because he is a democratically elected President of the Republic of Catalonia and has done nothing wrong. In Spain, he will not get a fair trial because other members of his former government are sitting in jail without trial. The right-wing Rajoy government applies an article from the Fascist Franco era. The charges against Puigdemont include, among other things, rebellion, abstraction of funds.

Rebellion is unknown to all legal systems, except Spain. Even in Spain, such a charge is highly controversial. But the High Court in Spain is under the thump of Rajoy. Former High Court judge José Antonio Martin Pallin rejected the charge of rebellion by saying that he doesn't know any legal expert who would classify Puigdemont's political actions as 'rebellion.'

We have to wait and see whether the German courts are still independent. It could be that they will succumb to pressure by the Merkel government who supports the absurd claims of the Spanish government. In Rajoy's Spain, Puigdemont and his colleagues wouldn't get a fair trial.

Trump is going to fire his current wife Melania because she should have mustered up more sensitivity for his sleazy affairs. In addition to these affairs, Trump continued his relationship with Melania, although "her belly got very fat during her pregnancy." Melania Trump is expected to leave the White House anytime soon. Applicants should hurry up.

It seems as if Trump needs more women than one to comfort him. One could suggest that he takes Stormy Daniels and other hardcore ones for his leisure TV- time at the White House and one for the serious job. The American taxpayers should not be worried. America, you are better off!?

The Israeli Haaretz journalist delivered a speech at a conference on "Israel Lobby and American Policy", organized by the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs in Washington on 2 March 2018. Levy drew a more than a realistic picture of Israel that has nothing to do with the reporting of the mainstream media.

He made it clear that there is no difference among the political elite what occupation is concerned. All the illusionary talk of political differences between left and right concerning ending the occupation are pipe dreams. "When it comes to Zionism, there is no difference in Israel between left and right. When it comes to occupation, which is part and parcel of Zionism, there is no meaningful difference between left and right (...) The difference is only by rhetorics."

In Israel, nobody talks about occupation; it doesn't exist in daily life. Everybody who talks about it gets a hard time or will be crushed such as "Breaking the Silence", and the media in Israel reaches out to this kind of policy. The situation gets worse by the day. That is why the Zionist lobby and their non-Jewish willing executioners must defame everybody who dares to criticize the Zionist occupation regime as Anti-Semites.

What Levy has to say about the "chosenness" or the self-proclaimed image of the "eternal victim" should be common sense all around the world. In Germany, this talk would have been called "anti-Semitic" by the psychopaths of the Zionist Lobby. The whole talk is worth seeing.

There are still some reasonable people in the US security establishment who have the guts to speak the truth about the real intentions of the Zionist regime. Perhaps President Obama's most significant achievements were not to be dragged into a war with Iran by Netanyahu and his then time Defense Minister Ehud Barak. Probably under the enormous influence of the Zionist lobby, President Trump will also reverse this merit of his predecessor. So far, Trump's "achievements" are the reversals of Obama's policies.

Netanyahu and Liberman are both warmongers. In April, Liberman will talk in New York City at the annual conference of the right-wing Israeli Newspaper "The Jerusalem Post" on the following subject: "The New War with Iran." How bold or self-confident must one be to speak on such a subject openly?

Netanyahu is not one iota better than his fascist Defense Minister Liberman when he declared the following in January at the Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem: " The greatest danger that we face, of hatred for the Jewish people and the Jewish state … comes from Iran. It comes from the ayatollah regime that is fanning [the] flames [of anti-Semitism].” Netanyahu knows that his rhetoric is baloney because over 30000 Jewish Iranians are living free and unmolested in the Islamic Republic of Iran. At the same time, the Zionist regime is deporting asylum-seekers from Africa.

AIPAC just wrapped up its annual conference. For the first time, liberal Jews were allowed to speak at this event. Even AIPAC's president called for a two-state solution. Perhaps even this lobby has understood the writing on the wall that Netanyahu's career is coming to an end. He and his wife facing corruption charges. Perhaps Netanyahu aggressive rant against Iran at the AIPAC conference in Washington was his last one.

Not even President Trump should be so stupid to do the fighting for the Zionist regime. So far, the US Empire has failed across the Middle East. To listen to people such as Netanyahu, Liberman, Mohammed bin-Salman from Saudi Arabia, or military strongman Abd al Fattah as-Sisi from Egypt, the US can only lose. Instead of talking to rational actors such as Vladimir Putin, Bashar al-Assad, or the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hassan Rohani, Trump associates with political hotheads such as Netanyahu and his ilk.

The following speech gives some hope that even in Washington reason will prevail.
